Steve Bannon to Stand Trial in May 2024 for Defrauding Border Wall Donors

  • Steve Bannon has been charged with laundering money and defrauding donors who contributed to a campaign to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
  • Bannon and others promised donors that all money would go toward building the wall but instead used it to enrich themselves, according to prosecutors.
  • Two others involved have already pleaded guilty, while a third was convicted; Bannon's trial is set to begin in May 2024.
  • Bannon has pleaded not guilty to the state charges, which were brought after he received a presidential pardon for related federal crimes.
  • If convicted, Bannon could face up to 15 years in prison for the most serious offense.
